Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR

I'm going to go with some of the books I've put on my Goodreads TBR list recently.

1. The Darkest Days Club by Alison Goodman: I don't know why I didn't explore this one before (the cover? the marketing style?) but I read the synopsis this weekend and it sounds like a lot of fun!

2. Into the Dim by Janet B. Taylor: I do love time travel! I actually have an eGalley of this one, I'm really looking forward to starting it.

3. Front Lines by Michael Grant: This sounds like a really interesting and intense alternative history.

4. A Fierce and Subtle Poison by Samantha Mabry: The cover kind of reminds me of A Hundred Years of Solitude (which was such a weird book), and the story sounds sort of magical realism-y

5. Flamecaster by Cinda Williams Chima: I read the Seven Kingdoms/Shattered Realms series a 86 million years ago (okay, three), and I think it will be fun to revisit the world.

6. Genius: The Game by Leopoldo Gout: I love the cover of this one! I'm hoping that this one will be a really fast paced read. I'm trying not to judge this author based on Daniel X, which I didn't love.

7. The Square Rood of Summer by Harriet Reuter Hapgood: I really like the saturated green in the cover, and this sounds like it could be a great read- almost a contemporary, but not.

8. Truthwitch by Susan Dennard: I wasn't crazy about Something Strange and Deadly, this sounds a lot more up my alley.

9. Love, Lies, and Spies by Cindy Anstey: I was mostly drawn by the fact that our heroine is a nineteenth century lady with scientific aspirations.

10. The Masked Truth by Kelley Armstrong: This one sounds suspenseful!

Front Lines showed up on my radar a little late somehow. I've had some mixed feelings about Michael Grant's books in the past, but the premise is really intriguing, and I'm really hoping I'll enjoy it!

Into the Dim and Truthwitch are on my goodreads list and Flamecaster looks interesting. Hope you like all your books!!http://thebestbasicblogger.blogspot.com/2016/01/top-ten-tuesday-top-10-books-recently.html

Great list! This reminds me I need to add The Masked Truth to my to-read list, because I really enjoyed Kelley Armstrong's book Omens. And Love, Lies and Spies sounds so interesting, I'll need to add that one too.
